Eckell Sparks Extend Services to Homeowners Facing Higher Property Taxes
The Delaware County, PA law firm of Eckell, Sparks, Levy, Auerbach, Monte, Sloane, Matthews & Auslander, P.C. expands their areas of practice to help homeowners facing increased property taxes.
MEDIA, Pa., April 05, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Attorneys at Eckell, Sparks, Levy, Auerbach, Monte, Sloane, Matthews & Auslander, P.C. are pleased to announce they have expanded their area of legal practice to include residential tax assessment appeals. The firm has become a mainstay in residential and commercial real estate law, serving clients throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania.
The firm came to the decision to make tax assessment appeals a priority after becoming aware of the apparent injustice occurring in county assessments. Pennsylvania homeowners pay one of the highest real estate tax rates in the country. Within the state, individual counties are responsible for housing assessments and real estate tax laws. As the state has come under heat for its outdated assessments and disproportionately high taxes, some counties have been quicker to respond than others.
Subsections of towns within Southeastern Pennsylvania are either under or over assessed. This means that those living in homes less valuable are subsidizing residences with higher priced homes. Homeowners in Delaware County will likely see a significant increase in their tax burden as county officials complete the reassessment of residential properties in the area. These homeowners have a right to file an appeal if they believe their home is overvalued.
The lawyers of Eckell, Sparks, Levy, Auerbach, Monte, Sloane, Matthews & Auslander, P.C. are dedicated to helping homeowners stay in their homes. The firm brings years of experience in commercial real estate leasing, zoning and land use, municipal planning, development, acquisition, real estate sales and financing, and tax assessment appeals. The lawyers of the firm are proud to offer this extended service to the public and look forward to bringing property tax equality to the residents of Pennsylvania.
In additional to handling tax assessment appeals, attorneys at the firm have extensive knowledge in personal injury, family law, employment law, and estate law.
